Evaluation of 2D facial landmark localization accuracy on the AFLW dataset, specifically using the PIFA protocol subset focusing only on visible landmarks, typically measured using Normalized Mean Error (NME).

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Face Alignment |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | AFLW-PIFA visible landmarks only |
| Metric | NME |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 10 of 10 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [NME](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/face-alignment-on-aflw-pifa-visible-landmarks-only.md?metric=NME>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.
